Each Christmas season, Nestor Matthews builds up its inventory to meet the needs of Christmas shoppers. A large portion of these Christmas sales are on credit. As a result, Nestor Matthews often collects cash from the sales several months after Christmas. Assume that on November 1 of this year, Nestor Matthews borrowed $4.7 million cash from Bank of Georgia to meet short-term obligations. Nestor Matthews signed an interest-bearing note and promised to repay the $4.7 million in six months. The annual interest rate was 10%.
